1.
Slice the cabbage lengthwise in half, then slice each half lengthwise into 3
sections, making sure to cut through stem at end each time. It keeps the
sections together once cut.

2. Dissolve the salt in the water in a very large
container, then submerge the cabbage under the water. Put a plate on top to make
sure they stay under water, then let stand for at least 2 hours, overnight is
better.

3. Mix the other ingredients in a very large metal or
glass bowl until it forms a paste.
